Biography:
The National is a Brooklyn-based indie rock band formed in 1999, by friends from Cincinnati, Ohio, USA. The band's lyrics are written and sung by Matt Berninger in a distinctive, deep baritone. The rest of the band is composed of two pairs of brothers: Aaron Dessner (guitar, bass, keyboards), Bryce Dessner (guitar), Scott Devendorf (bass, guitar) and Bryan Devendorf (drums).
Their self-titled debut album"The National" (Brassland 2001) was recorded and released before they had played even a single show.

At times you can hear the three notes of the intro chords plucked in
the pattern of low-middle-high-middle. Later, the same up an octave.
I've written two ways to play the chords. The first is the easiest,
but I saw them live and it looked they played it the second way.

You have to do it running but you do everything that they
F/C Csus4
ask you to cause you don’t mind seeing
F/A F/Bb
yourself in a picture as long as you look
F/C Csus4

You get mistaken for strangers by your own friends
Bb F
when you pass them at night under the silvery, silvery
Bb F Am Am7
citibank lights, arm in arm in arm and eyes and eyes glazing under
Gm F
Oh you wouldn’t want an angel watching over.
Bb F
Surprise, surprise, they wouldn’t wannna watch
Bb F Am Am7
another uninnocent, elegant fall into the unmagnificent lives of adults
F/A F/Bb

so you have something to wear on your sleeve of sleeves
F/A F/Bb
so you swear you just saw a feathery
F/C Csus4
